# C++ keyword: `xor`

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | keyword

### Usage

- alternative operators: as an alternative for `^`

### Example

Run this code

    #include <bitset>
    #include <iostream>

    using bin = std::bitset<8>;

    void show(bin z, const char* s, int n)
    {
        if (n == 0) std::cout << "┌─────────┬──────────┐\n";
        if (n <= 2) std::cout << "│ "<<s<<" │ " <<z<<" │\n";
        if (n == 2) std::cout << "└─────────┴──────────┘\n";
    }

    int main()
    {
        bin x{"01011010"}; show(x, "x      ", 0);
        bin y{"00111100"}; show(y, "y      ", 1);
        bin z = x xor y;   show(z, "x xor y", 2);
    }

Output:

    ┌─────────┬──────────┐
    │ x       │ 01011010 │
    │ y       │ 00111100 │
    │ x xor y │ 01100110 │
    └─────────┴──────────┘
